Elizabeth Musser, a native of Atlanta, creates her novels in a charming "writing chalet," a revamped tool shed in her yard in Lyon, France. With their two sons, Elizabeth and her husband, Paul, have lived in France for over twenty years while involved in mission work there. Her newest novel is The Sweetest Thing, and her Secrets of the Cross trilogy (Two Crosses, Two Testaments and Two Destinies) will release in the summer of 2012.

Elizabeth writes from this quaint "chalet"––a toolshed in her backyard in France.

Lyon, France! We just drove through there on our way to Southern France from the Netherlands for a week's vacation.Tell me what it's like? My husband and I want to eventually move to somewhere in the southern half of France. Holland is too damp and rainy!Ruth

Reading or weeding...

Whether we're reading or weeding, our garden plots offer a place for creative minds to relax, refresh. . . and sometimes rewrite. Welcome to our little garden spot on the Web. While you're here, we hope you'll pick a couple of titles from the garden of novels we're growing.

New gardens are added to this site frequently, so check back often and remember to scroll down and view older posts, as the posts on this blog appear alphabetically, not by date added.

DEBORAH RANEY's novels have won the RITA Award, HOLT Medallion, National Readers' Choice Award, Silver Angel, and have twice been Christy Award finalists. Her first novel, A Vow to Cherish, inspired the World Wide Pictures film of the same title. Her newest books, the Chicory Lane Novels from Abingdon Press Fiction, will release starting this summer. She and her husband, Ken Raney, have four children, five grandchildren (and counting), and recently traded small-town life in Kansas for a home in the city of Wichita.

A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.~Chinese Proverb

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. . . For as the soil makes the sprout come upand a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praisespring up before all nations.~Isaiah 61:10a, 11

Let your bookcases and your shelves be your gardens and your pleasure-grounds.Pluck the fruit that grows therein, gather the roses, the spices, and the myrrh.~Judah Ibn Tibbon
